Click to watch video https://youtu.be/08eoy8UbMf8 Greater Glory of God Presents   Mary, Mother of God   There are four dogmas stating Mary's personal relationship with God and her role in human salvation .   1) Divine Motherhood   Mary's divine motherhood was proclaimed at the Council of Ephesus in  431.  2) Perpetual Virginity  - The doctrine was established at the Council of Ephesus in 431[11] and the Lateran Council of 649 emphasised its threefold character before, during, and after the birth of Christ,[12]  3) Immaculate Conception - 1854   4) The Assumption - 1950    Various names are used to describe Mary's role as mother of Jesus. She is called "Mother of God" which translates the more accurately stated greek term "Theotokos" or "Birthgiver of God." The Council of Ephesus (431) attributed to Mary the title, Mother of God. This needs to be read against the Council's declaration that   - in Christ there are two natures, one divine and one human, but only one person.   - Indeed, according to the Council the holy virgin is the Mother of God since she begot according to the flesh the Word of God made flesh.   - This decision was further explained  by the Council of Chalcedon (451) which says with regard to Mary's divine motherhood:   "...begotten from the Father before the ages as regards his godhead, and in the last days, the same, because of us and because of our salvation begotten from the Virgin Mary, the Theotokos, as regards his manhood; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, only-begotten..."   Mary's Divine Motherhood was not the object of an independent or exclusive dogmatic declaration. The statement is embedded in texts defining the person and natures of Jesus Christ. Thus, the dogma of Divine Motherhood becomes an integral part of the christological dogma. This does not diminish its definitive and binding character. The dogma of Divine Motherhood is generally accepted by all Christian denominations.    Luke 1:31-35  The Birth of Jesus Foretold  And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”  Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[d] will be holy; he will be called Son of God    Luke 1:39-45  Mary Visits Elizabeth  In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country,  where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be[e] a fulfilment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.”
